JOHN RICHARD (Dick) McCULLOUGH April 6, 1936 - September 4, 2010 In loving memory of my dear husband, father and grandfather. I remember the day I met you And the day God made you mine. I remember the day I lost you And will till the end of time. My days are very different now Without you in my life And even though you are not here I'll always be your wife. My thoughts are always with you Your place no one can fill, In life I loved you dearly In death I love you still. I know you'll walk beside me And when my life is through, I pray that God will take my hand And lead me straight to you. All my love, your wife Elsie and family. RICHARD McCULLOUGH April 6, 1936 - September 4, 2010 In tears I watched you dying And watched you fade away, And though my heart was breaking I knew you could not stay. You suffered much in silence Your spirit did not bend, You faced the pain with courage Until the bitter end. I sat beside your bedside My heart was crushed and sore, I prayed to God to spare you Till I couldn't do no more. So God looked around His garden And found an empty space, He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face. He put His arms around you And lifted you to rest, God's garden must be beautiful He only takes the best. It broke my heart to lose you But you did not go alone, For part of me went with you The day God called you home. If I could have a lifetime wish And a dream that could come true, I'd pray to God with all my heart For yesterday and you. Love you always, daughter Betty-Ann
